I have learned to put items in my cart even if questionable because someone else will grab it. Then before leaving I go through my cart to see what I want to keep or leave behind. That's when I look things up to make sure what it's worth, etc.
5:29. Bottom, left. Looks like a lid to a VitaMix blender, or similar. I have had good luck selling such lids. Some you can get as much as $25 for easily. People often need them for their expensive Vitamix, BlendTec blenders, because they lose them, need an extra one, or they bought one on Ebay, but missing the lid. I always grab them. Vitamix and Blentec bl;ender parts always sell fast for me. Carafe.. Base units, lids.. etc. Food pushers, as well. People always need replacement parts. Also, Breville Juicer parts sell fast and for decent money. Grab them (especially if cheap).
Go through the old computers too. What you're looking for are the old sound cards. A working soundblaster can fetch over 100 dollars. Well worth your time learning about them and I get them for less than 2 bucks a piece
Everyone has different items they look for. I do the same and have looked up thousands of items and my wife even more. It's a never ending learning process. I did see several items I would have picked up
Love going to the bins despite all the hard work! Digging through treasures is like hitting the jackpot. Once found a sequenced American flag jacket and resold it for $100! Someone’s trash is another person’s treasure
Found a fully intact no damage 14x6 Waterford crystal lamp shade in Goodwill blue bin yesterday!Thought it was Gorham and when I got it home I spotted the tiny acid etched waterford and seahorse.Literally did a happy dance and started screaming in my kitchen.Hoping to get $150.00 or gift it at xmas to my motherinlaw who loves Waterford.Paid a flat rate of $3.00.My Goodwill outlet charges a flat rate for small heavy items instead of by weight.
Sometimes at ours you can bargain to pass less per pound for a heavy item, also ours prices differently than yours. Ours is just by weight (by major type - clothes vs shoes vs books). I have found $80 items in the bins, plus one time, cash (and from a bin that was there over the weekend).
U found some cool stuff. I enjoyed the video. We have several outlets in my city. I go to one once and a while. Not near as full as your bins. Hardly ever fine anything but clothes. I only get if it's a nice name brand and looks new.
Not sure if this sells...but there was a Pyrex lid you passed up. I used to have brown Pyrex pots/pans. But the lids get broke and it was hard to find a replacement. Also sterling silverware can sell for jewelry. I have a beautiful necklace someone made from a spoon. Love your channel.
No Goodwill bins in my area, always said I would like to go to one but after watching your video I have definitely changed my mind. I’ll pay an extra dollar to find something to sell and not have to dig through the garbage.
My bins equipment is a backpack full of bags and bungee cords (I ride a scooter), gloves, Benadryl, tissues, and a magnet (in case I find jewelry bits.
Copied from a website: Precious Metals Aren’t Magnetic Gold, silver, and platinum are not magnetic. The next time you spot precious metal, put it to the test. Take your coin or piece of jewelry, and place a strong magnet on top of the object. Slowly tilt your metal item to see if the magnet sticks to the object by the magnetic pull, or if it slides off onto the ground. If the metal attracts the magnet, you know it must be an alloy mixture and not a precious metal.
Thanks for the tips! I tried to go to my local goodwill outlet once and was so intimidated and had no idea what to do. But at the one here, it was so crowded and people were just acting way too crazy for my liking lol..
Ka Smith go with someone. My niece and I decided to go tackle it. We nearly walked right out. Then we said, were here, let’s try it. But we were such newbies, we got pushed aside. We decided to tackle bins that were also ready sitting by themselves. I’ve been just twice only though. Won’t go on my own. Lol! Best with a buddy.
First time watching you dig. Other utube people have awesome Bins. Mine are lousy but I still go sometimes. Always gloved and a mask. The dust is to much! I used to home school. I would have bought a game, and wrote the company for the missing rules. And I would have grabed just the paper out of that box, light weight. I don't shop to sell. Yesterday I found 7 vintage music sheets . One is worth $120.00 It's a first addition. The pictures are AMAZING. The other 6 priced at 10 to 20.00 bucks. Yes, I do dig!
I just wanted to say how much I truly appreciate your videos. You are so fun to listen to while I work! :D I'm not a reseller, preferring to sit on my behind at home and design printed on design items instead to sell on Etsy and sometimes Ebay too (not much success with the latter though). But I still enjoy listening to you share tips and the latest updates on what's selling out there. Thanks again!
Game pieces can sell well, also, so if it is a vintage game or a popular game, even if some pieces are missing, look to see if the pieces that are there are worth picking up .
I love the bins. Ours closed due to the virus and I miss it so much. I do get to TX once and a while I need to look this one up to see if it's near where my daughter lives.
One suggestion I have is go with your gut feeling when going through the bins. It doesn't cost but a few cents to pick it up. I have found many valuable items in those bins.
I went to a warehouse in Silvertown E16 called Thrift factory Kilo sale !! They had a massive selection you could spend a whole day there. They only allow some people to pick and choose as they are really exporting mostly. but They also do events , thrift factory £10 per kilo You need a strong back to go through the clothes as mostly in cages and trollies But it was worth it as many where Brand new with Tags
I see Family Pictures alll the time of kids etc. I dont get it... I could see if they were wedding photos and she divorced his hindend lolol ....BtW Great video as always!
Watching this video, I noticed at least two American Flags! You should pull those out. Then donate them to a scout group so they can be retired properly. It's sad they are in there in the first place.
Those remotes will pay for your trip to the bins. I have no problem looking them up by model number on them. I just got two remotes someone was trashing that still worked and got $24 out of both.
wondering if those old aluminum pan lids are recyclable....i love my Nanas aluminum pans, but I come across the odd aluminum lid at so many yard sales.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I probably would only buy complete games but if I would find myself buying an incomplete game, I have heard of sellers parting out the pieces. For some games, it might be worth it. $$ The bins near me are not in a 'good' part of town, not sure if I would go again(and there were no bathrooms). Best Wishes to you, Julie
i have a question kinda but not related to the video. how do you find garage sales? i want to begin reselling from sales but i don’t know how to find them
Our city took an existing goodwill and turned into a goodwill bin outlet. I was so excited, but when we got there everything was junk. Is was like the reject of the rejects from other stores. The clothes and shoes looked so worn out. And the breakable were actually broken. 😡
Monica Ramirez That’s what the bins are, aren’t they? The rejects of Goodwills, so give it a chance and eventually it will get better. Maybe they’ll get more from nearby cities. Maybe??
@@annaibarra3447 incorrect. Atleast for my local outlet. They get donations from people who go there instead of a regular goodwill to donate. Or goodwill won’t sell an item for a couple weeks and send it to an outlet store.
@@YungAlex999 Ok, maybe it’s different in some cities, someone, one of the workers said that it was rejects from some goodwills. As so much was not all good stuff.
